Identity Security Cloud (ISC) ISC Discussion and Questions

Hi everyone,

I am trying to understand how to create a mailbox once an account is created directly on Entra ID. Regarding the on-prem Exchange part, I know this can be addressed through the ConnectorAfterCreate rule according to the logic presented here: Before and After Rule Operations.

However, I need help understanding the process for creating a mailbox on Exchange Online of Entra ID. Could someone provide examples or explain the process?

I remain available for any further details on this matter.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I believe assigning a User an Exchange license will create the mailbox automatically

Hi Paolo,

As @j_place mentioned, you just need to provision the Entra group to user account.

Further, if you have License configurated in Entra that will assign the mailbox license as soon as Entra group is provisioned to user account.

Thanks.

Hi all,
thank you for the feedback provided. If I understood correctly, is it sufficient to assign the appropriate group (and not the license***) to Entra ID account through ISC? Is this interpretation of the response provided correct?

***This is because the license is managed on the Entra ID side through the group-based licensing (What is group-based licensing - Microsoft Entra | Microsoft Learn), effectively excluding ISC from this type of task. Right?

Thank you again for your time.

Kind regards,
Paolo

Hi @psalat8887100 - The Mailbox is provisioned when the license is assigned. The license can be assigned either directly on the user or (preferably, as in your case) on a group. ISC should then be able to add the user to the group.
